Yay! Please, please, please post some mod shots of your Antigona - I'm dying to see how it looks on. Super curious if it maintains that structured look, or if it slouches like a Pandora.

This is mine, I'm not holding it in this pic, but mine holds its shape for the most part unless I put something really heavy in it, then the bottom gives out a little bit, otherwise it keeps it's shape. I'm not sure about the calf skin, but the one I got is the shiny leather which is a bit more tougher than calfskin one.

Ehem! I have photos, I do. I just haven't has time to start a thread. It doesn't slouch like the Pandora at all, but I am really digging the semi-structured look.

Can't wait to see it RERE!

Will post pics soon. :cool:

Hello everyone! I just picked up a medium antigona in shiny black...my first Givenchy! I was absolutely in love with this bag from the moment I laid my eyes on them at Barney's. I would have loved to have gotten it in different color other than black but they were all mostly calfskin leather and from the looks of it, scratches so easily (already saw a bunch of claw marks on some on display). The shiny leather is regular leather and seemed more durable. I'll post up pics tonight :smile: I love everyone's bags on this forum!!

congrats, i'm debating getting the same one. only thing holding me black is the fact that it's basic black. if it had another color along the piping or something, i'd be more keen. are you still glad you got the black?

Hi there! No it is not the spazzalato leather. It was just called "shiny black leather" I think the leather is just regular leather that has been polished to make it shiny but on the matte side. it is not patent though. This was last seasons so I'm not sure if they will have the exact same one in medium, they might though. If you ask sales associate they might be able to track one down for you :smile: I got mine at Barneys if that helps.

It is a medium but I'll take a picture of me carrying it tonight when I get home so you can see what size it is. Depending how tall or short you are, small might be a better choice, when I first got the medium I thought it was HUGE but it grew on me :smile:...the large size was out of the question, way too big for me. I'll take a pic tonight though!
